Treasure Hunt Tycoon

A few people reached the small building, Li Du moved out five antique clocks, and Hans chatted with Raymond, who looked sharp.

Seeing the antique clock Raymond's eyes brightened, I couldn't help chatting with Hans, and quickly picked up one and looked up.

I only glanced at it, and he resolutely said: "This is the style of Louis XV. If I were to judge their identity, I would say that they are French clocks set with German Mason porcelain, bronze and gold."

Hansen asked, "Do you mean, the porcelain inside is German Mason porcelain, and this watch is made in France?"

This is not the same as what the grocery store owner Kevin said. Kevin said that the box is British style and should be British clocks.

Raymond shook his head and said, "No, it's just French-style clocks. This should be made in Britain, from 1815 to 1850."

After hearing this, Li Du and Hans looked at each other. The old man was an expert. Kevin looked at some things that he had judged for a long time. They could see it at a glance, and the time was more accurate.

结合 Combined with the words of Kevin and Raymond in this way, the authenticity of the antique clock was born in the period of Georgia III from 1815 to 1820, with French-style clocks made of German porcelain and British gold.

Hans coughed and spoke the information.

Raymond looked at him in surprise and said, "You have a very good vision. This is not a famous clock. You can analyze these materials, it is amazing."

Hans said: "How much would you like to pay for these watches? I think for anyone who likes clocks, this age-old work of art is very tempting."

Raymond put down the clock and said, "If they are indeed French clocks set with German Mason porcelain, bronze and gold, then they are certainly works of art for some years."

"What do you mean?" Hans looked disgusted.

Raymond continued: "What you have here are fakes, and they have been fakes for nearly two decades. Sorry, they have no value."

This is very destructive to Hans, because they were randomly selected in the previous minute watch, and the president's umbrella told them that only two of the nine clocks were genuine.

"No luck is so bad?" Hans looked at Li Du with a grin, "Four fakes? Didn't we pick a genuine one?"

Treasure pickers' transactions are based on information disclosure and fairness and fairness. Treasure pickers cannot fool buyers, and buyers generally disclose information they know with them.

If the treasure picker sells fake or inferior products, whether it is intentional or not, the personal credit will be reduced in their industry, and fewer and fewer people are willing to trade with them.

Therefore, Hans kept Raymond in direct communication with Li Du.

Li Du did not answer him, but looked at the old man with interest: "Mr. Raymond, how do you judge that they are fakes?"

The old man said confidently, "Come, let me give you a lesson. No matter how realistic the fakes are, there are many ways to check them out."

He raised the antique clock in front of him: "First of all, look, the authentic antique clock is cast in its entirety, and the counterfeit materials are thin and light, and they are assembled and welded with thin copper plates."

"Assembly welding needs to be carried out layer by layer, so the gap between the plates is very large, the surface is not straight, and the watch as a whole gives a floating feeling, not as thick as the genuine product."

Li Du looked at it and frowned. "I feel they are quite heavy."

Raymond smiled and pointed at the surface of the clock: "Okay, keep looking. Do you say the gold paint on this surface is gold-plated or gilt?"

There is no doubt that metal plating is in modern craftsmanship, but gold is a traditional craft in the early years.

"For counterfeit products, a large part of its cost is on gold plating, so it is not plated very thick, and there are even cases where the side and back of the clock base are not plated."

Speaking of this, Raymond lifted the clock and looked at it, and then said, "It's not bad. The entire watch is gold-plated, even if it's a fake, it's a well-made fake."

Li Du shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really don't see that this is a gold-plated, not a gold-plated appearance."

Raymond said, "Then we have to take it apart, don't you mind, right?"

Of course I don't mind. Antique clocks are not porcelain, they are mechanical products. To trade, they must be disassembled to check the wear of the parts.

让 He gave way, Hans started to work with a full set of screwdrivers, Li Du calmly changed a clock and asked him to take it apart.

老 The old man continued during this period: "The counterfeit watch movement parts will help, and we will find that there are modern specifications of screws, nuts, washers, and even relatively new metal materials."

"Also, if this is a 200-year-old timepiece, the movement will definitely wear out, especially at the position between the barrel wheel axle and the splint. If you find that there is no wear at all, it is wrong ... "

The antique clock was taken apart, and the worn movements and parts were displayed in front of them. In addition, the screws and nuts and other parts inside are simplistic and obviously not modern.

Seeing this, Raymond frowned ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ he groaned: "Of course, counterfeit antique clocks must be old, including the movement, but it still can't care about the details ..."

比如 "For example?" Li Du asked.

"The movement can be copied, but the genuine product has marks, such as the number, the manufacturer's emblem LOGO, the year of production, and the patent number. There may also be counterfeit antique clocks, but I have never seen a mark that is clear and convex Yes, "said Raymond.

Hans carefully blown the dust off with a hair dryer, and then clear letters appeared on the movement and several important parts.

In addition, there is a line of letters printed on the base of the watch: `` May Prince George of Wales be as immortal as time ''.

At this moment, Raymond was a little stunned.

Hans was also a little embarrassed and said, "Isn't this a clock from George III? How can you praise Prince George of Wales?"

Li Du said: "This prince is George IV. The governance of George III in his later years was plagued by mental problems. Prince George the Prince of Wales ruled as the regent. This also proves that this is a late George III work."

Hans was surprised: "Your knowledge of history is good."

杜 Li Du rolled his eyes and raised his mobile phone. "When Kevin introduced the history of the box, I checked the Internet by the way. Coincidentally, I saw this historical record."

Raymond stopped talking. He took out his magnifying glass and looked up carefully in front of the clock. He also took out his mobile phone to take pictures.

After a while, the phone rang, and he went a long way to say a few words, and when he came back, he said, "Bid, how much is this watch?"

Hans asked, "Is it sure?"

"This is the real thing." Raymond nodded. "It turns out I've seen it."
